American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

"Is the last treasure of a civilization an intelligent central system?" The blond man frowned slightly as he looked at the scenery around him that was changing back and forth between illusion and reality.

Judging from the information revealed by Metal Sound and the situation in front of him with a severely restricted body competing against his sister, this intelligent system called supreme wisdom is obviously the highest technological crystallization of a civilization.

If another civilization obtains it, it may be able to quickly cross civilization barriers with its assistance, expand its technological strength rapidly, and grow into a new advanced civilization empire.But for the Qiling Empire, the intelligence of a higher civilization, although its role is great, has not yet reached the expectations of him and the empire.

"It seems you are still not satisfied?" Metallic Sound assisted the burgundy-haired woman to inject various viruses into the Supreme Intelligence through the backdoor authority in her memory, while guiding the team to move in a certain direction.

"No, don't be too greedy. A gift from civilization is enough to make up for the losses in this operation." The blond man shook his head.

"There is indeed a treasure here, especially something that is rare for a civilization like yours." It seemed that he was about to achieve his goal, so the metallic sound inexplicably made the blond man feel some kind of vitality and relaxation.

"What is it?" The blond man's heart was a little disappointed, and it beat faster in an instant. He was vaguely aware that the treasure that the metallic voice told him next would be the biggest gain of this dimensional journey.It will also be a treasure that the entire empire is looking forward to!
"The seed of nightmares." The metallic sound was not pretentious and intriguing. When the blond man asked, he said it without hesitation.

"The seed of nightmares?" Stopping in front of a metal storage door, the blond man was a little stunned while deciphering the door key to the storage room.This doesn't sound like a good name.

"It is a medicine of inspiration for you intelligent species! No matter who owns the nightmare seed, he will always be in the stage of inspiration explosion. At this stage, the hosts of the nightmare seed can break through and find them one by one. Solve all the problems he faces. It is the fuel for a civilization to quickly climb the technology tree." Metal Sound answered the blond man's questions while operating multiple lines.

"What about the sequelae? There can't be any consequences, right?" The blond man took a deep breath, his heart pounding!This kind of thing is almost the best treasure for his empire!They are facing the barriers of civilization and want to break through and advance to a higher civilization, but they are at a loss.Even if this [Nightmare Seed] can serve as a guiding inspiration and give the empire a direction, that will be enough to excite and encourage the empire's top brass.

The blond man could even imagine that if it was truly proven that the so-called [Nightmare Seed] had the potential to break down the barriers of civilization, then no matter how high the cost, the empire's top brass would do their best to achieve it.

"It depends on what you think." The metallic voice became ethereal. "It can provide the host with endless inspiration, but the price is the host's life!"

And all knowledge and soul!
Metallic Sound did not say the last sentence.There is no need to speak out about this standard behavior of dimensional demons harvesting believers. "Sounds evil." The blond man frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.This price was nothing compared to the heavy and terrible prices he had imagined before.If it were just that, the empire's senior officials wouldn't even frown at this price.

But out of caution, the blond man still asked: "Where are the others?"

"I know what you are thinking, but the effect of [Nightmare Seed] is limited by the host itself. An unlearned host may not be able to help you until death. If you want to break through the universe and As a barrier to civilization, you need to let the top researchers in the empire become the hosts of the [Nightmare Seed] and then see your luck. This is the method with the highest success rate for your civilization to be promoted.

You may not care about the lives at the bottom, but what about the top researchers?Are you willing to burn the rest of their lives to win an unknown future?Maybe you will be able to achieve the goal of civilization promotion soon, but it is also possible that all the top researchers are dead and you are still on the road of accumulation. "

The metallic voice reminded.

The status and prestige of the top researchers in the Qiling Empire within the empire are not lower than those of the top management of the empire. To put it bluntly, the top level of the empire can be purged and replaced. Under the existing institutional system and technology, the empire Although there will be fluctuations, stability can be restored quickly after the new top management comes up.But what if those top researchers lose a group?The future of the empire will be cast into layers of shadows.Moreover, each of the laboratories they are responsible for will come to a standstill, and a large part of the resources invested previously will be lost even if they are not completely wasted.

After all, researchers from all walks of life occupy a very important position in the Qiling Empire's system.A top researcher can influence most of the upstream and downstream systems in the field he studies.Even the royal family and high-level officials of the empire are within this researcher system.It's just that their fields tend to be political and military.

The blond man was silent for a while.As one of the blood descendants of the imperial royal family, he knew very well that even the emperor could not decide the life or death of a top researcher at will.The empire's top researchers are not weak and powerless beings.

Like the magisters of the Magic Empire, they are pursuers, masters, and users of knowledge.The blond man never underestimates the destructive power of a top researcher.

"And after using [Nightmare Seed] to gain benefits, it will secretly bring about 'disaster'. It is addictive and diffusive. Once used, it will be difficult to get rid of for life. As long as [Nightmare Seed] exists among you The first host is equivalent to you either voluntarily or being forced to join a race against time. Either you use it and transform and advance again and again until you can peel it off; or you fail halfway and the entire civilization is destroyed. In one day, all the knowledge and technology you have accumulated will become the material for the nightmare seeds."

As the metallic sound explained, the excitement and joy in the blond man's heart quickly cooled down. Is this the true meaning of the name [Nightmare Seed]?
But soon, the blond man was keenly aware of something strange. Thinking of what Metal Sound said before, he excitedly tried: "There is a way to stop this [disaster], isn't it?" ( End of this chapter)
